Stanley & Sons Denim Apron with Leather Straps

Made in Brooklyn, Chris Grodzki crafts aprons and bags that will last lifetimes. The occupation is befitting, given the history of his family in the bag- and apron-making industry since the 1970’s.

Chris frequently found himself at a sewing machine, repairing jeans and experimenting with making bags. When a storeowner and friend asked to stock some of the items he’d been making, Chris realized he was walking in familiar footsteps and in honor of the family’s former business, he named his enterprise Stanley & Sons Apron & Bag Co.

These denim aprons from Stanley & Sons are particularly covetable. The leather straps and leather lap pocket are both functional, long-lasting and well-built. The 12 Oz. selvedge denim is from Cone Mills, so you can rest assured it will age beautifully the more you wear it.

If you’re in an industry where you need an apron, you can’t beat this option. (And hey, even if you aren’t a baker or blacksmith you can wear it for cooking, fixing your bike, putting together Ikea furniture…there’s always a use for beautiful denim.)
